🎉 We (almost) did it!! A huge heartfelt thank you to everyone who donated to the Crowdfunder - you raised 97% of the total, with just £120 to go (donations can still be made). This is utterly brilliant and a massive help in taking APPLES IN WINTER to the Edinburgh Festival Fringe for 21 performances in August. We couldn't do it without your generosity and belief in the project. Thank you.

And thank you to everyone who is helping to spread the word, and buying tickets to, Apples in Winter at the Fringe and the fundraising previews in Surrey and Hampshire on July 18 and 30.

Your support means the world to us. We’re deeply grateful.

🎉🎉 We are excited to unveil our new logo, above! 🎉🎉

We warmly thank typographic designer Paul McNeil for embracing the challenge to create a new image for LynchPin. He said he wanted to devise something simple and iconic, and we think he has succeeded.

His stylish interpretation of a lynch pin is open to other meanings. Among the LynchPin team we see the Greek letter Phi, the Golden Ratio, the Quantum function in theoretical physics, Shakespeare's 'Wooden O’ and a hot air balloon … What do you see?

"Parker’s arresting performance as a frail yet determined De Morgan serves to emphasise the economic vulnerability and hardship often experienced by women writers of that era, as well as the genuine physical danger posed by diseases such as tuberculosis.” 👏👏👏

"The Vegan Tigress encourages us to reconsider the significance of early feminism and literary autonomy for women like De Morgan in a fresh, experimental and exuberant manner.” 👏👏👏
